Question

Good car seat for air travel when you have a very tall baby?

Share

My DD is going to be 11 months old when we travel to Europe to visit family. Currently, at 7 months old she's 21lb and over 20" tall. She's the size of a 1 year old already!
When we planned the trip we bought her a seat and figured we'd take her in her infant car seat, but she is almost too big for it and we are buying a new one.
What is a good car seat for rear facing on an airplane?
Since DD already meets the requirement for flying forward facing, should I sit her forward to give her more leg room?
I'm so confused about this!

Try car-seat.org or the Car Seat group here. Those ladies know everything about car seats! Just as a note, if you are planning on renting a car in Europe, you will need a European car seat that meets the European standards.
